Its been several months since i last updated the thread. Things have really taken off for me, I've pulled about 53 oversize loads with my longest having me at 88ft, widest at 14ft, and tallest at 15ft. As of todays date, I've managed to gross just under $25k, and I'm loving what I'm doing here. The people are great, the loads are interesting and challenging for one just starting out hauling OD. I'm going to be getting into a new truck here in the next week or so. Not what i was looking for, and the truck itself is a step down in my view but its not too awful as they do make up for the short comings in creature comforts. In the end I'm absolutely loving life here. Being over here has afforded me to do things that i would be able to do at other places.

Just took a stroll through the oak creek yard and checked out our latest additions to the fleet.
This trailer is a dual extendable heavy haul with torsion controlled steerable axles. They also have the ability to go into remote controlled manual mode.
This is the one that everyone calls king kong, steerable axles with extendable inserts, we have several stingers that can be added for added weights
The call this one mini kong because its similar to king kong but not as much weight
This is our heavy haul steerable schnauble, it has several outrigger parts for different setups like windmill blades and towers.Lonesome, Kyle G., Shock Therapy and 1 other person Thank this. -
Wow, looks cool.... But I have a hard enough time with a 2 axle trailer lol
Kyle G., Shock Therapy and Gunner75 Thank this. -
Glad you are liking it there Gunner. I just recently started getting my feet wet in the flatbed world, so i am a few steps behind you, but i find what you do very intriguing. So far the standard 53’ flat is enough of a challenge for my stupid brain though lol.
Would you explain how the steerable axles work? I have always been curious about that. Does the driver control that or does the escort driver do it remotely from behind? I have seen them in action In tight situations and always wondered how they manage to maneuver everything so perfectly.Shock Therapy and Gunner75 Thank this. -
